Chris Washington Jr., a four-star small forward in the 2026 class, has narrowed his list of schools down to seven. Moving forward, the 6-foot-8 rising senior of Providence Christian (TN) will consider Alabama, Auburn, Cincinnati, FAMU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Villanova.

Washington, a Gainesville, Florida native, is ranked as the No. 24 overall player in the nation, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He has his first official visit scheduled to Alabama on September 6-7.

Prior to cutting his list down, Washington also held offers from Memphis, Louisville, Clemson, USF, Vanderbilt, Cal, Michigan, and others.

Washington a standout at NBPA Top-100 Camp

According to On3’s Jamie Shaw, Chris Washington Jr. was one of standouts from the NBPA Top-100 Camp earlier this summer:

Chris Washington has maintained his status as a top-20 ranked player for On3 for a few cycles now. Watching him in this event, it is easy to see why he is thought of with such lofty regards. Washington is listed in the 6-foot-8 range, he is a fluid athlete who has ball skills and touch. His game is still coming together, as he is tightening up his skill set. He averaged 15.2 points while giving some impressive highlight dunks.

“I’m basically a big guard,” Washington told On3’s Jamie Shaw in a previous interview. “I’ve gotten a lot stronger since last season and my shot has gotten better. I watch a lot of KD (Kevin Durant), he is my favorite player; I like his pull-up, it’s just clean. I try to put that into my game, because I’m 6-foot-8, and I’m long, so I know it would make my game even more effective if I hit those.”

Washington also discussed with Shaw what he’s looking for in a school:

“I want to go somewhere that feels like a family,” Washington said. “So, I’m going to be looking at that. And I want to play early, so I want to go somewhere I’ll play right away. How they play will be big for me, I like playing fast and playing on the wing. Location won’t matter to me as long as it feels like family there.”
